Summer Institute / July 29 – August 1 / San Diego State University
The annual Summer Institute is the AAUP’s premier resource for sharpening members’ leadership skills and training them in the arts of faculty advocacy. For four days every July, faculty and other academic professionals from across the country meet for a common goal: to learn how to create and implement strategies for improving shared faculty governance at their institutions.
While faculty and academic professionals have myriad opportunities to attend conferences and workshops to improve their scholarship and teaching skills, formal training in exercising the faculty’s role in shared governance is scarce. Packed with interactive workshops and seminars led by policy, financial, legal, media, and organizing experts, the Summer Institute provides attendees with tools and resources to help them protect and strengthen professional standards and improve the terms and conditions under which they conduct research and teach classes. There’s simply nothing else like it in American higher education.
Details about the 2010 Summer Institute will be posted here as they become available. For more information, contact Jenn Nichols at jnichols@aaup.org & http://www.aaup.org/AAUP/about/events/SI/default.htm
